A girl becomes a woman at She ago of
twelve or thirteen years in Alaska, and !
have seen some such girls who were
really quite pretty. The best looking of
the young Alaskan girls are the Indians
who are found along the Stickeen River
Valley, or the Haidab girls of the Prince
OF Wales Island. Here is q picture of
Julia, Stickeen River girl, She is dressed
in plain cotton garment, and she has
Turkish bath towel wound around her
head for ornament. There is ring in
her nose, and she has d pair of very soft
beautiful eyes. Julia, like all Indian
girls here, dresses in long, plain cotton
undergarment when at home, and when
she goes out she has a gayly-colered
blanket which she throws about her
shoulders. The Haidah girls have rela-
lively fair skins, soft, d6ve4Iike eyes, very
small, symmetrical hands and small feet,
and their insteps are 80 high that the
water can run under them without touch
ing the sole. They are very passionate
and hot blooded, and they would be
graceful were it not for their pigeon
toed gait. They are really modest when
in the presence of white men, keep their
eyes nearly always on the ground, and
are forward in no way whatever Some
of them have delicate peach-bleom
blush or blood manUing upon their
cheeks, and their complexion is that of a
very dark brunette,

Rome Correspondence
The return TO Italy of Count Salimbini,
Major Piano and the twelve year old son
of the latter, who have been Ras Alula's
prisoners for so many months, has
created n considerable sensation. The
chief interest is perhaps conferred upon
the hoy, who is described az having
displayed the courage and hrmness of a
man through all the vicissitudes and hard
ships endured. The only time when he
broke Down was, it appears, when chains
were put upoE the prisoners for the first
time, and he found himself fettered hard

was physically, soon established a sort of
ascendepcy over the negroes who used
TO come and 20 TO his hut, and would
rate them soundly if they displeased him,
as they sometimes did by coming to beg
for some of his clothing.
His father had managed to keep for
him, as indeed all the prisoners tried TO
do, two or three Jerseys, TO be wern one
over the other as protection against the
dangers of lying on the damp floors of
their prison huts after the tropical heat
of the day. To this the boy probably
owed his complete immunity from illness
during his imprisonment; he has returned
quite bronzed and hardy looking. He had
other advantages, though, which were
not shared by the elder prisoners. A
woman's heart goes out to childhood,
thank goodness! all the world over, and
Ras Alula's daughter took compassion on
the brave little Italian boy, and did all
she could to soften the rigors of his inn
prisonment.

DELAWARE, Ohio, July 30.--In the Ohio
state prohibition convention to-day the
platform was read. 1t says of the Dow
liquor law that an ample trial has shown
that 1t was designed as a seeming conces-

the cause at disadvantage. A labor

finally cdopted a plain denunsiation of

SAN DIEGO, July 10.-About the great
est achievement in real estate sales so far
recorded as the result Of the Southern
California boom took place yesterday. In
the morning the Pacific Coast Land
Bureau announced that they would sell
lots in the new Town Of San Miguel, about
ten miles from this city. in the Sweet
water valley. The town site is just south
Of the lake caused by the Sweetwater
dam, and is the present terminus OF the
newly-completed motor from San Diego.
The price was put at $50 per lot, with the
understanding that they would be raised to-
day to 500. The excitement was intense,
and all day and far into the night a surg
ing crowd besieged the Office of the COM
pany, keeping the employees busy taking
in money and handing out receipts. Up
to midnight 5000 lots had been sold and
about S150,0O0 realized as the result OF
one days sales. From present appear
ances it actually looks as il a large part Of
the population OF San Diego has gone
wild, and the probability is that the ad-
vanced price will not make much differ
ence In the sales tomorrow.

ANALOGOUS FORoERIEs.

How n Treasury Secretary Has
Been Robbing she Governments.
A Washington dispatch says: The ca
reer OF Oscar J. Harvey, the Treasury
Chief Of Division, who was arrested FRI
day night for a series Of brilliant and
audacious forgeries, has reused the Gov
eminent officials to an energetic scrutiny
of the routine Of business and it's meth
DDS that has never been equaled. The
fact that the Bacon defalcstion was per-
petrated under the very nose OF the Ad-
ministration, and that the Harvey forger-
les we're carried OF for two years with
out discovery, has completely knocked
politics out Of either matter, and leaves
the Administration with nothing to claim
on the score OF more honest employees
and better business methods than it al
ready has.
1t was discovered by inquiry at The
| Treasury Saturday that the auditing Of
| fcers had not the slightest idea OF how
the discussing officers of the Govern
ment stand to-day, and that there is
not q single disbursing clerk upon whom
| there is a check placed by any OF the
present systems OF doing business.
Hsrvey's crimes and his confession are
especially boldly defined by reason OF their
brilliant background. They possess a bon
vivant, an art amateur, an educated and
refined soul, a small salary, an expert pen.
man, and a light moral responsibility
these all form the combination that
helped to down him.
Harvey is a handsome and dashing
looking man OF SO years, we'll educated
aud of literary and legal a.tainments.
He has been very popular, and has moved
in the best society. He was q college
mate Of William T. Smith. :he late As.
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, and
was appointed largely through his influ-
ence. When Smith left his $4,000 secre-
taryship to become the solicitor Of the st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba road,
Harvey gave him a dinner which was the
talk of Treasury circles for several days.
To-day the Investigations show that Har-

. PRoBLEM OF IMMIGRArIoN.

The New York Herald says Mr.. Pow
derby has attracted the attention of the
%workingmen of the country to the sub.
ject of immigration. The business de-.
preston which has prevailed in all parts
of the world during the last decade has
naturally created a certain amount of
restlessness among wage workers. In
the desire to better their condition, or at
any rate to get bread enough for their
families, they have rushed in increasing
numbers to America. All n~ationalities,
from the extieme north to the tropics,
have fed from the starvation wages of
the continent, and when they reach our
shores many of them have nothing but
their rags and their rugged physical
strength to depend on.
As a consequence the competition in
all fields of industry is becoming sharper
every day. There are crowds of un.
skilled workmen who snap at any job at
any price as a trout at a fly. If they
cannot get full wages, they get what
they can and wait for a better oppor-
tunity. Doubtless there is among them
a great deal of the very best material,
and doubtless, also, there are some who
will always be a burden on society.
Here Is a matter in which the wage
farmers are intensely interested. 1t is
peculiarly their problem. They will re-
member that months ago the Herald
published a long series of articles on the
comparative condition of labor in the
great cities of Europe and America. We
employed expert correspondents, who
carefully examined the state of the diff
ferent trades abroad, and the result
startled the whole community. 1t was
made evident that the wage earners in
all parts of Europe are looking with
eager eyes to this country, and hope
seine day to share the advantages which
are hero afforded. Large numbers of
them have already come over, large mum.
bers are on their way, aud still larger
numbers are saving up their hard earned
pennies to accomplish the dream of a
lifetime.
The Knights of Labor are looking
these facts in the face. and it is full time
they did so. Interviews with a few of
them show that the solution Of the prob.
lem is at some distance yet.
